(#13) Buy Gift Cards With The Highest Discounts Not The Highest Monetary Value
Smart shoppers can easily find the maximum discount available for gift cards by sifting through a few search filters. Search engines on gift card selling websites come with nifty features which allow you to find exactly what you want. For ultimate savings, filter results by looking at cards with the "Highest Discount."
You'll most likely see the biggest price difference in gift cards with larger amounts of money. If you're looking to grab something cheaper for a one-time purchase, you can also filter by gift card amount.

(#15) Use Your Bank-Issued Gift Cards To Buy Store Gift Cards
You can typically stack gift cards when you make online purchases. Bank-issued gift cards are a bit different though. Bank-issued cards have to be entered in the credit card field of online orders, so if you don't have a high balance, you can't use the card at all.
Instead of struggling, use your bank-issued gift card to purchase a store gift card.

(#4) Watch Out For Sneaky Gift Card Thieves
Don't buy a gift card if it looks sketchy. Gift card fraud happens when someone scratches off the protective seal that covers the gift card number, copying the number for future use.. The thief then re-covers the number with an identical adhesive film and waits for the card to be purchased and activated. Be sure to look for warning signs like bubbles or uneven alignment on the scratch-off film.

(#11) Cash Out Gift Cards Wth Low Balances
Small amounts of money left on gift cards are even more annoying than pockets full of pennies. A low-balance gift card clutters your purse or wallet, eventually fading to the recesses of memory. Some states will allow you to cash in your card when it reaches a low enough amount, though.
State gift card laws can be used to your advantage. Check to see how much you can get back, and remember to ask the cashier specifically for cash.

(#5) Never Eat Out At Full Price Ever Again
Gift cards exist for nearly every chain restaurant imaginable. Instead of paying full price for your meal, use a gift card to complete your purchase! You don't need a physical card to do this, using an e-gift card works just as well.
While waiting on the bill, buy a discounted gift card directly from your phone. It will immediately be ready for use. When it's time to pay, just jot down the gift card information on the receipt. You save instantly.
